Darfield welcomes in the 2023 season with the re-opening of their clubrooms

After months of renovations, Darfield Rugby Football Club has been able to reap the fruits of their labour, with the re-opening of their clubrooms at Darfield Domain.

With Country Footy renowned for it’s post-match entertainment, the opportunity for the club to separate their bar and kitchen into two work areas will greatly enhance their ability to cater for an ever growing club and support crew.

“Our kitchen was tiny and it became very hard to prepare for the after matches” said Club President Sheldon Reed, “it also allowed us to separate our bar from the kitchen, creating two dedicated spaces.”

“Having the renovated facilities will help us to better cater for our club, and encourage growth and connection across both of our junior and senior sides.” said Reed.

The renovation of the clubrooms went right to the wire, with the final touches put on the bar right before opening, with the new facility greatly received by all in attendance.

The re-opening also conincided with the first pre-season game of the season in Canterbury, with the Ducks welcoming Hinuera Rugby from the Waikato to the domain in what has become an annual fixture in recent years for the two sides, with Darfield heading north in the corresponding fixture last year.

While only pre-season, both clubs were able to walk away happy, with the game of three halves ending in a win a piece and even draw, meaning nothing could separate the two sides before they put the new clubrooms to the test in a perfect example of what Country Rugby has to offer.
